KCEL (96.1 FM, "Que Buena 96.1") is a commercial radio station that is licensed to Mojave, California, United States and serves the Antelope Valley area. The station is owned by High Desert Broadcasting LLC and broadcasts a regional Mexican format.

History

The station on 96.1 FM first signed on as KMVE.

In June 2008, High Desert Broadcasting began programming KMVE under a local marketing agreement with Coloma Mojave.[2]

On January 1, 2009, High Desert Broadcasting swapped the frequencies of KMVE and sister station KCEL (106.9 FM). With the move, 96.1 FM assumed the KCEL call letters and began airing a regional Mexican format branded as "Radio Lazer 96.1".[3] Later, the station rebranded as "Que Buena 96.1 FM".

In June 2011, Ventura, California-based Point Broadcasting, owner of High Desert Broadcasting, purchased Coloma Mojave LLC, licensee of KCEL.[2]
